The hysterical, shocking and incredibly intimate memoir from one of
the most original and unique comedians alive today. Hello! I’m
Brian Limond, aka Limmy. You might know me from Limmy’s Show. Or
you might not know me at all. Don’t worry if you don’t. They
asked me to write a book about mental health, because I sometimes
talk about my mental health in tweets and interviews, like suicidal
thoughts and anxiety, and what I’ve done to try and deal with it.
I said to them, oh, I don’t know if I could fill a whole book
with just that. But how’s about I write a general autobiography
type of thing, and all the mental health stuff will naturally
appear along the way? I could talk about growing up and slashing my
wrist and taking acid all the time and getting done for car theft
and feeling like a mad freak that would never amount to anything.
And then how I made my own sketch show. I directed it and
everything. Plus I’m a dad. I’m an adult. But I still feel like
that mad freak from years ago. I still feel like chucking it all
away, for a laugh. I asked them if they wanted me to write about
all that, plus some other stuff. Like being an alky. And my sexual
problems. Stuff like that. They said aye. So here it is.
This is Limmy's second book. It's a whole load of new, odd and
hilariously grim short stories. Tom is in a soft play with his
daughters. He's bored. He's so bored he can move things with his
mind. A man fills up a mate's biscuit tin without ever telling him,
to see what happens. Maggie's boyfriend Iain bought a curtain. It
keeps attacking them. She wants it out the house. A man is sitting
in his wheelie bin at two in the morning, and he wants to tell you
why. Kenny's mate Scott is suicidal and ridden with guilt. Kenny
takes him on holiday to Benidorm. It'll be some laugh. Praise for

DAFT WEE STORIES is Limmy's first book. It is a collection of
stories. There are short stories. There are longer stories. There
are stupid stories. There are thoughtful stories. There are
upside-down stories. There are normal-way-up stories. There are
weird stories. There are less weird stories. There are really weird
stories. There is nothing else like it. Have a read.
